All buses are air-conditioned, have seat belts and television/DVD players.
Students are expected to wear a seat belt whenever they are on a bus. Bus Monitors are required to make sure they are fastened safely when leaving home/leaving on a school trip/leaving school. Students are not permitted to unbuckle during the journey.
Leaving home in the morning You will be given a pick-up schedule. Please make sure your child is ready and waiting for the bus. If you are late then everyone on that route is late. Bus Monitors will log the time your child gets on the bus. If your family is continually late for the bus we will call you and ask for an explanation. Continued lateness may mean that we are no longer able to provide a service for your family.
Arrival at School Buses arrive near the hard court. They will start arriving from about 8.00am.
Health A clinic staffed by a registered nurse (nursegreenvalley@standrews-schools.com) is located on the ground floor of the administration building. A log is kept of all treatment and parents are notified of every visit a child makes. If an accident or injury occurs, the nurse will call you as soon as possible.
Illness We are concerned about your child’s health and safety at all times. We try very hard to make sure they have a safe environment in which to work and play. We would also like St. Andrews to be a healthy place to work and we ask you to keep your child at home if they are ill or have a fever. Any infectious diseases or any change in your child’s health status should be communicated to the school. Please make sure that all absences from school are communicated in written form – both notes and email are acceptable. Injuries The School Nurse will call parents in the event that a child needs to go home due to illness or injury. In the event of a serious injury or illness, the nurse will contact you so that your child can be transported to hospital for further attention. (Bangkok Pattaya or Bangkok Rayong) If necessary, the nurse or designated person will accompany your child to the hospital and meet you there.
Medication at School The School Nurse must administer all medication during school hours. Please make sure this advice comes in a written note with your name clearly stated at the bottom including your signature. All medicines must be in their original container, clearly labeled in English/Thai with your child’s name and dosage to be given. A few over-the-counter medications (i.e. Panadol, Ibuprofen) are available and can be given if parental permission is on file.
